A regular visitor to Evergreen Brick Works says she wants the city to consult the public about improving transit to the city’s proposed new super park site.

At a press conference, Tuesday, Toronto Mayor John Tory announced that the city will begin work on creating the Don River Valley Park. This new park will become the second largest in the city and incorporate the Evergreen Brick Works site.

It’s an all too familiar scenario. The TTC bus she was driving a few years ago along Lawrence Avenue East had to weave through morning rush-hour traffic. Inevitably, she arrived at some of the commuter stops later than scheduled.

“I would have to be at a stop by 8:17, but get there for 8:20 and people wouldn’t be happy,” Shirley said. She has asked that her full name be withheld. “(The passengers) let you know that you were three minutes late. Those same people that you greet every morning … turn on you.”
